SPECIFICATION
The HT8-1.2 Hiretech Floor Sander will sand hard
and soft wood floors, cork and composition floors
that require rapid sanding and leveling to a fine
finish. A powerful motor drives a finely balanced
sanding drum which is covered in a unique drum
rubber providing a high quality finish to both hard
and soft woods and other surfaces. Completely self
contained with a high efficiency dust pickup the
machine breaks down into three simple component
parts for easy transport. With low voltage trip and
overload protection the HT8-1.2 is a high
performance sander suitable for professional and
home owner use.
SAFETY
1.
For safety it is recommended that a residual
current circuit breaker (ground fault interrupter)
is used with this machine.
2.
Check the operating voltage is correct and that
the machine is switched OFF (‘O’) before
connecting to the power supply.
3.
Always disconnect from the power supply when
changing the abrasive paper, servicing the floor
sander, replacing the dust bag or leaving the
machine unattended.
4.
Always replace the dust bag (paper type) or
empty the dust bag (cloth type) when the dust in
the bag reaches the ‘MAX’ line or when the
machine is left unattended.
5.
Never dispose of or empty the contents of the
dust bag into a fire or incinerator.
6.
Never reuse the paper dust bag or use a non
standard bag.
Cloth bags must be in good
condition with no holes.
7.
Always wear a dust mask when using the floor
sander, handling the dust bag or cleaning the
machine after use.
8.
Wear ear protection when using the floor sander.
9.
Ensure adequate ventilation of the work area to
avoid the formation of a combustible mixture of
flying dust and air.
10. Never smoke when using or servicing the floor
sander or when handling the dust bag.
11. Never expose the machine to rain or damp.
Always store in a dry place.
12. Stop the floor sander immediately if damage to
the machine or abrasive paper is suspected.
13. Never allow the power cable to come into contact
with the sanding drum when the floor sander is in
operation. If the power cable becomes damaged
and the inner conductors are exposed switch the
power OFF and remove the plug before
attempting to move the machine.
The cable
must be replaced by an authorised dealer or
qualified electrician using Hiretech® genuine
spare parts only.
14. Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from
all moving parts of the machine.
15. Punch down or remove all nails, screws, tacks
and other fixings from the floor before sanding to
prevent contact with the sanding drum.
16. Never operate the machine without all the
guards in place.
17. Keep children and pets clear at all times.
18. If the machine should fail to operate refer to the
Fault Finding Guide on page 10.
